wild cards... Nearly ever song is an obscure cover, highlighting the song over the original artist." Early in 2002 the band members resumed solo and side projects. Luscombe and Snarski released an album, There Is Nothing Here That Belongs to You, later that year on the Quietly Suburban label. The duo followed with national tours supporting Marianne Faithfull and then Paul Kelly. The Blackeyed Susans returned to Sing-Sing Studios in Richmond late in 2002 to finally record Shangri-La. They augmented their sound with op-shop instruments and old vinyl – it was finally released 21 July 2003 on Teardrop Records/Shock Records. Shangri-La was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2003, missing out to John Farnham's The Last Time. After its release they played sporadically. Luscombe and Box perform with other artists but are still band members and continue to play with them when possible. In 2001 Box joined Augie March while Luscombe joined Paul Kelly's backing band in 2003, then the Drones in 2006. A four-disc retrospective box set, Reveal Yourself, was released on 30 October 2009. On 3 March 2017 the group issued their seventh studio album, Close Your Eyes and See, via Teardrop Records. They announced an associated tour for April to July to promote the album. Graham Blackley of Beat magazine opined that "On this enticing album, which was elegantly produced by Dan Luscombe, the band create a richly textured sound that embraces light and shade while managing to be both atmospheric and memorably melodic... [it] is the assured work of a confident and inspired band still at the top of their game."
